Hello,
Well, it used to take a minute to make a new jwm theme, but the theme maker is just too easy... LOL.._________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

Works fine for me walter, on my screenie you can also see in console list of files that were in pet, it doesn't have any postinstall script or menu button it's only one jwmrc file inside themes dir and two preview files.

@thefixer
If it was the jwm thememaker dotpet, yes a restart X server should get jwm thememaker on the menu (in desktop category as I recall) .. or you could simply do 'fixmenus' in a console and reload jwm. jwm thememaker is a fun ui for if you feel challenged manually modifying jwm themes or just want a quickie

Otherwise if it was a new theme dotpet for jwm, it should show as a choice (as per the post above) if it is a simple jwm theme (usually a file or two in /root/.jwm/themes and perhaps some optional images for a theme 'preview' on the jwmconfig ui, choose theme page).

A few dotpets (or other packages) may add fonts or backgrounds or what-have-you for a certain look - I'm partial to using x or kcompmgr and opacity tags in jwm sometimes..

Hijacking the thread here to see if I can learn something about JWM. I'm not actually using Puppy, but rather Arch Linux and have been messing around with lightweight WMs lately. I discovered JWM recently and LOVE the simplicity (goes along well with the Arch mantra). I've figured just about everything out, except some theming details. After doing some googling, I've found that most of the information about JWM is actually found here.

I saw Patriot's post about making enhancements to JWM to allow for things like round corners in the window borders, but never found out exactly *how* to configure that. I believe I have the correct version of JWM (2.0.1-5), but haven't found any details for giving the borders round edges in the jwmrc files. If anyone can give me some pointers or even provide a copy of an example theme in a regular tgz archive, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, nevermind. I was able to hack up what I needed by installing Lupu to a thumb drive and yanking all the JWM related goods. You guys definitely have some cool stuff here. It's nice to see some new life being breathed into this awesome lightweight WM.
